Not sure which plan to pick? Here's what we recommend based on your travel style:
Vaduz capital and museums
Vaduz has excellent 5G coverage throughout. The Vaduz Castle viewpoint, Kunstmuseum, National Museum and pedestrian zone are all perfectly connected. A 1 to 2 GB plan for 2 to 3 days covers a Liechtenstein visit — it's a small country and most spend only a day or two.

Malbun (1,600m) has full 4G/5G coverage throughout the resort, on the ski slopes and at the base area. A compact ski holiday in Liechtenstein is fully connected. A 3 to 5 GB plan for a ski week is plenty, including chairlift selfies and Google Maps navigation.

Combined Switzerland and Liechtenstein trip
Most visitors combine Liechtenstein with Switzerland — the two countries share open borders and Liechtenstein uses Swiss francs. A Europe or Switzerland+Liechtenstein eSIM plan is the most convenient choice — Saily and Airalo both cover both countries in one plan.
Rhine Valley and Three Sisters
The Rhine Valley floor — Vaduz, Schaan, Triesen and Balzers — has the strongest signal. The Three Sisters (Drei Schwestern) hiking route above Balzers has coverage on accessible trails. A 1 to 2 GB plan handles a full day of Rhine Valley and village exploration.
